About this document
Standard Error of Seismic b Value by creteil8 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes research on estimating the standard error of the b-value parameter in the Gutenberg-Richter magnitude-frequency relationship. It provides formulas for calculating the standard error of b and confidence intervals when b is assumed to be constant over time or slowly changing. Tables are given to allow statistical testing of temporal and spatial variations of b. An example from central California estimates b as 0.95 with a 90% confidence interval of +0.94 to -0.30 from 1952 to 1978, wit
